Being a developer, it was hard for me to learn the art of writing articles. I have been writing for almost 2 years now and few month back, I had the chance to write for popular blogs. Writing and publishing your own book is something that everyone will have in their dreams. My dream came true on 28th of April 2013, where I published my first book on impress.js.

Promoting blogs and driving traffic to a blog is one of the major concerns for any new blogger. Even though you might have quality content, your blog could go unnoticed if it is not promoted well.

Templating is crucial for separating your business logic from your presentation, but if your web app depends heavily on Ajax, it can be difficult to maintain both server and client-side templates without duplication. It can be useful to choose a templating engine which provides both client and server-side support allowing maximum reusability. Learn how to share your templates between PHP and JavaScript using Mustache.

Web applications use MVC architectures to separate business logic from the presentation views. Complex projects which involves large amounts of client side HTML manipulation with JavaScript can be difficult to maintain. In such scenarios we can use template systems to increase reusability and ease the task of managing views.

Mustache.js provides a well documented template system which can be used to manage your templates. And, since mustache supports various languages, we don’t need a separate templating system on the server side. This article covers the basics of working with mustache.

Have you ever counted how many times a day you log in to various websites? I am sure your answer would be ‘No’. We perform ‘Log In’ so many times in a day that we now don’t think how it’s done….until and unless something is wrong! You may forget your log in credential: username (it can be your email address or any other name) and password. Or there are chances that you forget if ever you have signed up for a particular web form.

To beat everything, users who fail logging in successfully to a particular website do not see its personalized content and other services, which minimize the engagement value. Looking at the significance of ‘Log-In’ form of business, some website owners have started looking out for new design solutions.

Walking on water and designing web from a specification are easy if both are frozen and as said by Johanna Drucker, “I don’t think that design needs theory, but I think designers need theory”. A good design is a good business for web developers and the only thing about design is how it relates to people also, it’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. Also, it’s an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up. Alike a good art inspires and good design motivates, you can achieve the perfect design only when you use appropriate tools.

WordPress is the most powerful CMS framework available at the moment. It can be used to create highly flexible and extendable websites with very little work. I believe that the Plugins and Themes structure is the main reason behind its success as a CMS. There are around 21,000 plugins available for free on the official WordPress website.

Some web applications might require features of an email client to be made available the users. In these situations, we can either write our own or customize opensource clients like SquirrelMail or Roundcube. Regardless of what you choose, knowledge of working with IMAP mail will be helpful.

The second part will talk about actions for working with email, like deleting messages, downloading attachments, etc.

WP To Twitter is one of the most popular plugins available in the WordPress plugin directory. It has reached over 1,000,000 downloads. Basically this plugin enables you to automatically create tweets to your twitter profile when the blog content is published.

Recently I had the chance to get an interview from him about his plugin and what he thinks about WordPress Development. I hope you will have something to learn from his interview.

Aspect Oriented Programming From Scratch

Aspect Oriented Programming also known as AOP allows you to separate your cross cutting concerns from core business logic and allows you to focus on business logic related tasks.
